Using .value vs .current for Skia Values

[elliotwaite]

I read in this discussion that you're working on adding support for UI thread rendering. This seems like it will open the door to React Native Skia interoperating well with Reanimated and React Native Gesture Handler. Since those libraries both use Shared Values, which are accessed and assigned to using the .value property, I was wondering if it might be more intuitive if users could also access and assign to Skia Values using the .value property as well.

I know that React refs use the .current property, but from my experience with using Shared Values, I've grown used to using their .value property, and it currently feels a bit odd to use .current when accessing Skia Values since I think about them similarly to how I think about Shared Values.

So I was wondering what the React Native Skia team's thoughts were on using .current vs .value. I understand that switching to .value at this point might be too disruptive of a change, but since React Native Skia is still in the alpha stage, I thought this topic might still be worth exploring.
